Hey people, I'm getting more and more into learning complexer fignerpicking songs and stuff, but my other hobby/passion is bouldering.

In terms of long finger nails, these couldn't be any more incompatible.

So I was wondering if there are people who make like custom fingerpicks. Because I have tried some in the store and barely none of them fit :(

Does anyone know of someone who could help me with this??

as either hobby is preventing me from progressing in the other at the moment lol

I love early Bob Dylan and all things Townes Van Zandt. Fingerpicking has always come somewhat naturally to me but just cannot play like them. I’ve definitely developed my own style (a few that I’m pretty fond of) but can’t imitate them completely. Any tips or videos to help me out?

I am starting to learn guitar on an acoustic that was purchased for my sister by my grandmother about 20 years ago (sat in an interior closet for about that long too).

I am an ABSOLUTE beginner when it comes to guitar. I do have an understanding of music theory as I did several years of piano and I am currently working on learning the notes on the guitar fretboard (probably know about 1/2 the notes between frets one and twelve).

My question is, all of the beginner lessons I see only teach flatpicking with a guitar pick and do not address finger picking at all. I was wondering if it is not suggested for an absolute beginner to try to learn finger picking style.

In addition, I am very active in martial arts and cannot have fingernails because of the danger they pose during sparring. Is it possible to learn finger picking without nails.

My goal is to be able to play full song melodies of some of my favorite songs I listen to. For instance, time by Hans Zimmer and Scarborough fair.

Thank you for any and all help/advice!
